Whiplash Testing Protocol - Euro NCAP

Appendix III
Below is an extract from the ICBC Instruction Manual for the HRMD, Section 3.
3. PRELIMINARY ADJUSTMENTS TO THE HRMD AND H-POINT MACHINE
3.1 Remove the head room probe from the H-point machine and install the two washers (supplied
with the HRMD) in the spaces remaining on the H-point pivot.
3.2 To accommodate the manufacturing variances in the SAE H-point machines, the fit of the
HRMD on the individual H-point machine should be confirmed as follows.
3.2.1 Place the H-point machine seat-back and pan in a “sitting position”. Lower the HRMD in
position onto the torso weight hangers and onto the top edge of the channel between the torso weight
hangers. Before handling the HRMD confirm the knob below the back of the headform is finger
tight.
3.2.2 To ensure the HRMD fits easily over the channel between the torso weight hangers and to
prevent damage to the spring plungers, the channel must be chamfered in accordance with RONA
Kinetics and Associates Ltd. Drawing No. 10045, see below.
3.2.3 If there is fore-aft movement of the headform assembly (with the rear knob on the HRMD
finger tight), adjust the spring plungers in the HRMD retainer plate until there is no further
movement.
